Step 6The stand
I rigged up my light stand using 2 cheapo tripods, one I got for $10 at a yard sale and one I already owned. I wouldn't say this is the most effective way to get the rig up into the air and I would strongly suggest using lighting stands, which would be sturdier and would allow for greater range of height adjustment.
If you choose to do it this way though, I drilled two 1/2" holes opposite eachother and crazy glued recessed nuts into the holes. The recessed nuts have a flange on one side so that they can't fall out. All tripods and cameras use 1/4-20 (commonly called a quarter-twenty at the hardware store) mounts so any 1/4-20 bolt will fit any camera. I attached the tripod quick release mounts to the recessed nuts for easier removal.
